Ematezu and Greetings! Ematezu is the traditional greeting of our people, and it means the Spirit is between us when we meet. It's a way of honoring the connection we share with each other, and with all living things. Thank you for visiting this page. We know this website may be challenging. From a scientific perspective it might be easy to dismiss. A "dead" culture returning? Such a thing isn't possible. Or is it? If you study Indigenous cultures, then perhaps you have also studied the concept of living history. You can read more about it on our site here. The dillema for researchers is that if you afford 'surviving indigenous people' the possibility that their culture may have spiritual or esoteric aspects not easily explained by modern science, then why don't those same standards apply to the Indigenous Europeans as well? It's a bit of a conundrum. But tantalizing. To think of the possibility that there are other ways of uncovering the meaning of our famous cave art, ancient cultural rites, or the meaning of the baton de commandments! Ultimately, while it makes no difference to us what 'science' decides, we believe that paleoreseachers and anthropologists can be key allies when we begin to assert cultural rights and understandings in what will certainly be a hostile environment. Already we read theories that are wildly off-mark and lack even the remotest understanding of Indigenous lifeways. Wouldn't it be beneficial to understand where such ideas go wrong? And ultimately, wouldn't it be exciting to realize the actual rebirth of an 'extinct' culture in present times. Such a thing isn't possible. Or is it?
